What's on the CPA Exam (Uniform CPA Examination)

  • Auditing and Attestation (AUD)
  • Financial Accounting and Reporting (FAR)
  • Taxation and Regulation (REG)
  • Business Analysis and Reporting (BAR) — Discipline
  • Information Systems and Controls (ISC) — Discipline
  • Tax Compliance and Planning (TCP) — Discipline

Why it's hard

FAR is the longest and broadest section, and the CPA Evolution restructure (effective 2024) added Discipline sections that change which specialty you double down on. Pacing 4 sections over 18 months while working full-time is the real challenge.

How Fennie helps

Fennie's Daily Plans align with your Becker or Wiley schedule and track your task-based simulation (TBS) accuracy separately from MCQ accuracy, since they're scored independently.

A sample week of prep

  1. 01Mon — FAR: pensions + leases
  2. 02Tue — FAR: bond amortization + 25 MCQs
  3. 03Wed — FAR: stockholders' equity + 2 TBS
  4. 04Thu — REG: individual tax 25 MCQs
  5. 05Fri — FAR: cash flow statement + 2 TBS
  6. 06Sat — Full timed practice section
  7. 07Sun — Review and regenerate plan

Sample only — your real Fennie plan adapts daily based on what you got wrong, what you ignored, and how close you are to test day.

Frequently asked questions

How long do I have to pass all four sections?

Most jurisdictions give 30 months from the date your first passing score is recorded (up from 18 months in 2024).

Which Discipline section should I pick?

BAR if you're in corporate/audit, ISC if you're IT/audit, TCP if you're tax. Choose what your career already touches.

Does Fennie replace Becker/Wiley?

No — Fennie complements review courses by providing daily plans that adapt to your section-by-section weak areas and integrate TBS practice tracking.
